The past year of teaching showed me that students who are unprepared for class by not having basic supplies are less likely to engage.

Too much instructional time is lost when students need to find a pencil/pen with which to write or need to track down their notes which they wrote on 3 sheets of looseleaf paper and stashed in their friend's sister's locker.
